I'll give you the tablets on potential but that netbook seems pretty stock, except you don't pay for Windows by default.

... it is stock ... the only feature of note about this netbook was that the default OS did not require you to pay the Windows tax. There is no Windows sticker on the machine. If you don't want Windows, but you do want a netbook, then you shouldn't have to pay for Windows.

That is a good thing. A very, very good thing. An absolute win for consumers.

From what I can tell these come with either Linux or Windows and well all I can say about that is - bad idea. The OS needs to be built from the ground up to be for touch tablets and trying to retrofit a desktop OS onto a tablet is doomed.

Plasma, the KDE SC4 desktop is the last and most visible of the three pillars and it is the part that takes most of the criticism and least understood. Plasma currently ships with two desktop interfaces, "plasma-netbook" for smaller screen sizes like the ones in netbooks and smaller notebooks and the standard "plasma-desktop" for normal monitor sizes.

Plasma adds its own level of abstraction to the desktop.

In fact, Plasma provides such a comprehensive level of abstraction that it can easily (but doesn't currently) accommodate a desktop expressly built for use on a touch-screen tablet.

Do these things even have an app store?

Run KDE on one of these and one can easily have a repository dedicated to it.

Run Android on one of these, or perhaps Meego, and the app store needs only to be an Android/x86 or a Meego/x86 app store, a common app store across any number of particular machines.
